Evaluating 20% and 40% Inclusion of Sugary Former Foods in Pig Diets: Effects on Growth Performance, Feeding Behaviour, Carcass and Meat Quality Traits

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Former food products (FFP) are food industry leftovers that can be used as feed ingredients. We investigated the effects of sugary FFP on growth, feeding behaviour, carcass and meat quality of pigs fattened to a heavy weight. Three inclusion levels were tested: 0% (FFP‐0 = control), 20% (FFP‐20) and 40% (FFP‐40) FFP in grower (20–60 kg BW ...

Are Age‐Related Differences in Sleep Associated With the Different Trajectories of Fluid and Crystallized Intelligence Across the Lifespan?

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A common misconception is that, with age, cognition deteriorates across all domains.

Differential Effects of Age, Linguistic Distance, Gender, and Education on English Proficiency: A Comparative Crosslinguistic Study of Immersion and Nonimmersion Learners

Language Learning, EarlyView.
Abstract Do immersion and nonimmersion learners’ English grammaticality judgment test (GJT) scores reflect the same underlying processes in language learning? Drawing on data from Chen and Hartshorne's (2021) study, we argue that they do not. Using generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs), we found that age of onset was the strongest predictor of GJT ...

Abstract Input variability (i.e., varied experience with different grammar exemplars; “[talk/think/rant/wonder] about [god/bicycles/dogs]”) can improve generalization (i.e., “[Verb] about [Noun]”) and enhance learning. Controlled experiments show that input variability benefits children's generalization and extension of linguistic information from ...
